Terahertz Imaging on the Cheap

May 5, 2014

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Terahertz imaging, which is already familiar from airport security checkpoints, has a number of other promising applications — from explosives detection to collision avoidance in cars. Like sonar or radar, terahertz imaging produces an image by comparing measurements across an array of sensors. Those arrays have to be very dense, since the distance between sensors is proportional to wavelength.

In the latest issue of IEEE Transactions on Antennas and Propagation, researchers in MIT’s Research Laboratory for Electronics describe a new technique that could reduce the number of sensors required for terahertz or millimeter-wave … Read More → "Terahertz Imaging on the Cheap"
